grunt-fastly

A Grunt plugin to purge cache from Fastly

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-fastly --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-fastly');

The "fastly" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named fastly to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  fastly: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

options.purgeAll

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Purge all cached files from a cache. If this value is true, a serice id must also be provided.

options.serviceId

The service you wish to purge all the files from. Only required when option purgeAll is true.

Usage Examples

Purge All

In this example, all cached files will be purged from the production service.

grunt.initConfig({
  fastly: {
    options: {
      key: 'your api key'
    },
    production: {
      options: {
        purgeAll: true,
        serviceId: 'production service id from Fastly'
      }
    }
  },
})

Purge selected files

In this example, we'll purge only selected files from the example.com host.

grunt.initConfig({
  fastly: {
    options: {
      key: 'your api key'
    },
    example: {
      options: {
        host: 'example.com',
        urls: [
          '/path/to/asset1.jpg',
          '/path/to/asset2.jpg'
        ]
      }
    },
  },
})
